almost ready to watch a game

Post: # 1024634Post saintbrat »

which one from 2010 would you start with,

a 'SAFE' win- where we were expected to win, and the opposition gave us plenty of opportunity

or a " memorable' in ie against ladder leaders and done the hard way.

or a in 'against the odds' when everthing was looking like it would go the other way.

or would you choose a game because you wanted to watch one particular player or play..


When 'IF ever' would/ will you watch a loss to see if there are things that a) changed for next game or b) to work out where the team really fell down _ in hindsight and not reaction..c) just to see one act. event, player, decision.

I reckon start with either the freo game from early in the year or the geelong game mid year.

I would watch Lenny Hayes single handedly win us the WCE game at Subi.

Still gutted.

The sight of any of them celebrating anything other than a flag this year may just make me sick-up.

2011- redemption or bust.

The only game I haven't watched a replay of from last year is the Grand Final replay.

I think I need to do it as part of the grieving process.

If you want to understand Ross and his need to 'reconstruct' then that match will certainly do it for you.

For the first time in my life I am ambivalent concerning the start of our next season. So many years of hope were dashed this year, I feel happy for the new supporters who are are experiencing some sort of successful period where they can look forward to a healthy amount of H&A wins but for me , a person who has had the glass half full for so long , has been bowed.
So much emotional investment over such a long period takes it toll , so close when we we should have succeeded on a few occasions now is just too much to cop.
I feel almost almost cheated. :(
I will remain a member ...... under sufferance atm.
PS during the years of absolute mediocrity I felt so much better about the club, at least then I knew we we outclassed (for many reasons..$ etc) and accepted it...hard to accept that we should have won cups.

feel so much the same

no real zest for next year

funny during 80's did not feel as low as at the moment even though getting belted......
enjoyed the odd win....

same ...emotionally gawn.......hurt to the point of going through the motions at moment

must be hard for players and Ross......

but supporters have been belted emotionally for so much longer....

us older ones anyway....

just have to win one for the pain of the lost ones to be at all forgotton.

getting back up on the horse again at the moment is just so hard.....

but the team must!!

It's hard to feel really excited about our prospects, because just as in 2010, nothing but a flag will do.

5 preliminary finals in seven years, and even in 2006 I thought we were a premiership chance right till the end.

So realistically that is a lot of HnA wins for nothing to crow about. It's devastating.

With Lenny 31 and not much young talent coming through, it's hard to think we haven't blown it. But we will probably still be around the fringe of the top 4 next year, and where there's life there's hope.

There needs to be some genuine change next year though, we won't win it with a very similar side, the improvement will have to come from the young blokes like it came from Mini, Zac, CJ and Farren in 2009.
